You will see an error telling you Brasero depends on wodim (cdrkit) to run. You can safely ignore this. Brasero will run with cdr-tools.
For Peter Funk -
A chapter out of my ebook (should work for ubuntu 14.04):
Media - Burning - CDR-Tools vs CDRKit
There are two packages that can be used for burning.
They are cdr-tools and cdrkit. cdrkit is the default for Linux Mint.
Here is an article describing why some did not like cdr-tools and replaced it. www.enterprisen etworkingplanet .com/netos/ article. php/3715646/ Tips-and- Tricks- for-Linux- Admins- Volatile- Debian. htm

I personally go back to cdr-tools because it works. cdrkit, when first introduced, broke everything. It was a nightmare.
For those who remember cdr-tools and prefer it there is a way to switch back and forth at will.
PPA Website: https:/ /launchpad. net/~brandonsni der/+archive/ ubuntu/ cdrtools
Switch to using cdr-tools...
Open up a terminal, and paste the following commands: er/cdrtools
>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brandonsnid

>sudo apt-get install cdrecord mkisofs
